Breathing
Sound Breathing
Explosive area pressure from the Uzui school — Bursting Bloom to Strength Performance.
About Sound Breathing
Sound is the spectacle pick: Bursting Bloom dashes through enemies with a stunning explosion, Exploding Beads hovers detonating charges in two ranges, and Strength Performance finishes with a spinning cross-cut barrage. Pairs naturally with the Uzui clan's damage bonus.
How to unlock
Train with the Sound trainer (level 25+ quest chain): meditation, strength training and the parkour dungeon. Takes Beast Cores instead of Demon Horns (creator-measured), so the standard waterfall-cave farm does not transfer.
Moveset
| Key | Move | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Z | Bursting Bloom | Dash forward slashing through enemies; explosion stuns on impact without rag-dolling (official showcase). |
| X | Roar | Slam both blades into the ground — small explosion knocks opponents away (official showcase). |
| C | Exploding Beads | Long range: thrown bead barrage that hovers and detonates on contact, re-triggerable (official showcase). |
| V | Resounding Slashes | Flurry of slashes and explosive beads ending in a knockback (official showcase). |
| B | Strength Performance | Rush, vertical spinning slashes and a blazing cross cut finisher (official showcase). |
Move notes cite the official launch balance patch (September 19, 2026) where a change is listed — patch language like "Hyper Armor" and "Strict Stun" is the game's own.
